Cashel from thje Early Christian Period
SMR NO: ARM 017:022
GRIDREF: H93363740
CONDITION: SOME REMAINS
"A small oval enclosure, 20m N-S x 1 7m E-W is defined by an irregular
bank 1-1.Sm high and up to 4m wide. Gorse bushes obscure most of the site,
but a quantity of stone, visible in disturbed parts of the bank, suggests
that this was a cashel rather than a rath. This is perhaps supported by the
apparent absence of a ditch. A gap 4m wide on the SE side of the enclosure
may mark the original entrance.
